Asymptote: Adam Csoka Keller Revisits Cold War Fashion And Design

Asymptote is the outstanding result of an ongoing collaboration between Evelyn Bencicova (featured) and Adam Csoka Keller, a project aiming to explore, reflect and build a new perspective on life under the socialist regime by overcoming the stereotypes and false premises we are confronted with when learning and recollecting stories of a time which exists in our memory only through a narrow and filtered image of the past who most have not even experienced. The creators of the series describe it as “a fusion of observations, facts and photography illustrating situations from real life under the socialist regime created in order to break the traditional confines of the public’s views on the era and its aesthetics”, as well as “a complex illustration of the era and a kind of eye-opener especially for the younger generation, which often lacks interest, the insights and authentic resources to understand beyond their present”.
